The Emotional Periodic Table: Second Edition, Still in Progress
“Awareness is everything. Without awareness, even consciousness becomes blind.”

📘 Section 1: Updates Since the Previous Version
We have started exploring a newly proposed fourth row of emotional elements.
Love and Jealousy have been positioned symmetrically, as they may represent a mirror-structured pair.
🧪 Section 2: The Concept of Immediate Extractability
Whether an emotion can serve as an “element” depends not only on cultural factors, but also on how readily an individual can access it—its extractability.
For instance, I personally cannot easily access the feeling of Jealousy, which is why I hadn’t previously recognized it as an element in my own emotional structure.
This suggests that the arrangement and density of elements in the Emotional Periodic Table may differ significantly across individuals and cultures.
🌌 Section 3: On the Existence of Undiscovered Emotional Elements
This periodic table remains far from complete.
The fourth row, in particular, may still contain many emotional elements that remain unnamed, unspoken, and perhaps even unfelt.
🌱 Section 4: A Call for Co-Creation
Emotionics moves closer to completion each time someone overlays their own emotional map onto another’s.
The next undiscovered emotion—the next unnamed particle—might be waiting for you to find it, somewhere in the world.
